Final Destination 6 may change the formula with ‘leaked’ storyline

A popular horror movie franchise is making a comeback, as Final Destination 6 was announced to have been greenlighted, but its overall storyline has been changed from the original reports.

Every millennial has an innate fear when seeing a truck on the highway transporting wooden logs. It’s all due to the trauma inflicted by Final Destination. Many remember the horrid moment one log came loose and smashed through the windshield of a car. It was a bloody mess.

The Final Destination horror franchise did its job of having Death and Fate as the central antagonists. Groups of teenagers find themselves trying to cheat Death through various events. Events that seem accidental or a stroke of bad luck.

It was announced the franchise would return after the fifth movie that premiered in 2011. Final Destination 6 was originally announced to break free from the franchise storyline tradition and focus on First Responders. But the tables have turned once again.

What will Final Destination 6 be about?

According to unconfirmed leaked details, Final Destination 6 will focus on a character who saved people during a tower collapse and has been Death’s target for years.

The sixth installment piques interest when announced it wouldn’t focus on a group of teenagers wanting to live another day. It was the crux of the franchise since its inception. According to Bloody Disgusting, Tony Todd would reprise his role as William Bludworth as the movie would instead focus on First Responders.

Recent reports claim the movie has changed course and once again sticking to the more well-known storyline. As well as a title change.

According to Critical Overlord on X/Twitter, “FINAL DESTINATION 6 will no longer be a first responders story. The new story will revolve around the family of a woman named Esther, who saved several people from a tower collapse 50 years ago. Death has been working its way back to this family.”

JoBlo reported that an inside source revealed the movie would be titled Final Destination: Bloodlines, also breaking free of the franchise’s numeric system. The “Bloodlines” is reportedly for good reasons.

The synopsis for the movie reads, “Just as she’s about to leave home for college, 18 year old STEFANI, who’s been having horrific nightmares about dying in a tower accident in the 1960s, discovers that her dream is actually a premonition that happened to her grandmother, Esther, who thwarted death fifty years ago but is now running out of time. Stefani learns that though her grandmother thwarted Death (until she died in her 80s), and Death has been going after the would-have-been victims of that long-ago catastrophe, killing them off and then going after their children. Stefani and her family realize that their bloodline isn’t safe from Death, who will take them violently and gruesomely, in order, unless someone like Stefani figures out a way to stop it.”

Based on the character descriptions provided Final Destination 6 has what most would expect from the franchise. A female lead, her younger brother, a football jock, and a pierced outcast are all trying to cheat Death.
